Wow, the half day ice climbing experience was amazing in every way! Our family of 4 (me-50, my wife-49, and two boys-13/11) all loved it and made it to the top. Our guide (John) was great. He reached out the day before to walk us through the day, what to bring and what to expect. He then picked us up at the house we were renting which was very convenient. A short 20 minute ride later, we were at the trail head for a 15 minute hike to the box canyon where we climbed. John was patient and gave us some great instructions before having each of us complete a short practice session. Each person takes a turn climbing individually and it’s amazing that you can go from never having swung an ice pick or wearing crampons to doing both while scaling an ice wall. It was an amazing experience made better by a great guide (John) and I’m so glad we tried this. Highly recommend!

Wonderful outing with an awesome guide, Taka. Beautiful canyon and such an amazing experience. Ice climbing definitely tests your nerve but so rewarding to do!

Awesome time! So recommended for anyone traveling. It is such a new and fun experience. Steven, our guide, was also such a delight to meet and talk with. He made sure we were always comfortable and taught us so much about this CO region and the world of ice climbing. It was a fun experience and really unforgettable.
